A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

"Fellow villagers, last night Meijiu secretly went to follow the enemy in order to avenge Zhongyong's mother. The special instructor was afraid that the journey would be too slow, so he borrowed Deren's mule to chase after Meijiu."

Now, the mule has been found by Young Master Li.

Young Master Li was also worried that the two of them might be in danger, so he followed them.

In that sense, all three children are admirable, heroes. We shouldn't believe the rumors and wrongly accuse them.

The village chief learned that Wen Meijiu and Young Master Wang had reconciled privately, and he was happy to clarify things for them in front of the villagers.

"Yes, Sister Meijiu and the others are heroes. If anyone slanders my heroes in the future, I will never forgive them."

Zhongyong had just woken up from his coma when he heard the news. He burst into tears and kowtowed several times to Wen Meijiu and his parents.

No words could express his feelings at that moment. Upon hearing the village chief vindicate Wen Meijiu, he quickly agreed, declaring Wen Meijiu to be their family's benefactor from then on.

“Well said. From now on, we will all have to rely on fine wine. Those who are disobedient or unwilling can leave our group on their own. That’s what I said.”

More and more villagers have come to see the truth and are standing more firmly on Wenmeijiu's side.

Wen Deren, supporting Liu Kerong whose body was swollen like a steamed bun, stood in the corner, trembling as he held the horse's reins.

At this moment, the horses at Wenmei Restaurant were not their salvation, but their death warrant, a hot potato.

"Deren, your mule has been found. Are you still planning to take that tavern's horse?"

The village chief used to treat Wen Deren, who was educated, differently. Now it seems that his actions have really let him down.

"No, no, no, I'll send it back to Brother Houyu right away."

Before the village chief could repeat himself, Wen Deren quickly led his horse to deliver the food to Wenmei Restaurant.

“Brother Deren, you are a magnanimous man. This horse is returned to your family.”

If there's ever anything I can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my utmost, even unto death.

Wen Deren spoke as nicely as possible, and now everyone trusted Wen Meijiu greatly, so he dared not act recklessly again. He also took a small half-bag of millet from his own family and handed it to his mother.

Because a lot of grain belonging to Liu Kerong and Wen Mei's family was wasted, his contribution could not compensate for the losses suffered by Wen Mei's restaurant.

"Keep an eye on your wife from now on, and stop her from harming people."

The mother didn't stand on ceremony; these few things couldn't make up for their family's losses.

"Okay, I'll definitely talk to her about it when I get back."

He was as arrogant as he was when he caused trouble, and now he was just as humble.

Wen Deren wiped his forehead with his sleeve and turned to leave when Wen Meijiu came over and stopped him.

"Wait, take your things back."

He took the half-bag of millet from his mother and returned the warm wine to Wen Deren.

Wen Deren was stunned. Holding the small amount of millet, he remained silent for a long time, with a hint of tears in his eyes.

This little bit of millet is the only refined grain we have at home. His mother had a terrible stomachache last night and couldn't eat any coarse grains. She survived entirely on this little bit.

Otherwise, Liu Kerong wouldn't have gone out of her way to snatch millet; she was simply afraid of being scolded by her mother-in-law and wanted to find some millet to appease her.

"Let's go back."

Wen Meijiu waved to him, and Wen Deren turned around with tears welling up in his eyes. He walked away, stumbling along.

"You, what can I say about you? You didn't see the way those two bullied us."

The mother was a little angry and pointed at Wen Meijiu's forehead, listing the crimes of Wen Deren and Liu Kerong.

"If the wine is made well, don't chase the dog into a dead-end alley."

The father understood his daughter's thoughts. Wen Deren usually didn't do anything outrageous. This time, it was because At stole someone's mule that Wen Deren and Liu Kerong were forced to go down together. His daughter should be forgiving. If Wen Deren was grateful, he should know how to discipline his wife, and they would have fewer troubles in the future.

Even if Liu Kerong remains incorrigible, as long as Wen Deren doesn't act like her, they'll have one less enemy and won't suffer any loss.

After traveling for so many days, the villagers' food rations are almost gone. They might eat their little bit of food sparingly, but if they have nothing at all, wouldn't that force them to steal or rob?

No matter how you look at it, the father feels that his eldest daughter is becoming more and more reliable in her work.

"Mother, we won't lose out."

Wen Meijiu winked at her mother, trying to distract her.

Her mother didn't believe her and looked at her sideways.

Wen Meijiu then whispered in her mother's ear that Young Master Wang had promised to give her a two-courtyard house.

The mother looked slightly surprised, then gritted her teeth and said, "Serves him right, who told him to stick his neck out?"

Wen Meijiu smiled and praised her mother for being clever and having a keen eye.

"She's just as despicable as Liu Kerong, what a pity!"

She still hadn't received the punishment she deserved, and her mother still felt she couldn't swallow this insult.

"I heard you and your aunt even beat up Liu Kerong, Mom, you're amazing!"

Mother used to be such a kind and humble woman, but now, after fleeing famine, she has been forced to fight and be ruthless for the sake of her family. What Wen Meijiu said was true, and of course, it was another way of changing the subject.

She had also considered that she would let Yiran off the hook, but Yiran would have to apologize to her in public. This alone would be enough to embarrass Yiran in front of everyone, proving that she was a gossipy woman who spread rumors, which would only damage her own reputation.

On the road of fleeing famine, reputation may be incomparable to hunger, killing, and death, or even insignificant. But once they arrive in the peaceful Donghai County, it is an indelible stain on a young woman about to be married.

Imagine, who would marry a gossipy woman who loves to spread rumors? Even a good person would keep their distance.

Of course, even if Young Master Wang is stubborn, she still offers her blessings.

"Of course, it's her fault for talking bad about you,"

Mother spoke quite naturally, saying that the feeling of winning a battle was simply wonderful.

"No wonder I'm so amazing, it turns out I inherited it from you, Mom..."

Amidst the praises of the warm wine, the mother laughed incessantly, gradually losing her sense of direction.
